An ice cream shop that comes with a very sweet message has continued to grow since it was opened by its Jewish and Muslim business partners last year.

Young entrepreneurs Adam Ziv and Alaa Sawitat opened the homemade ice cream shop in Tarshiha market last July.

“We’re not just a novelty of being a Muslim-Jewish co-existence ice cream store,” the 27-year-old Jewish kibbutznik told Israel21c news.

“We make ice cream that people like.”
